· Try not to open the door too often, especially when
the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the
door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is
especially important if you have an upright model.
· Check periodically if the appliance is provided with
sufficient cooling (undisturbed circulation of air
through the bottom rail openings).
· Use higher thermostat settings only when required or
recommended.
· Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh
foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient
temperature.
· Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so
do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5
mm thick.
· If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the
sealing is poor, the energy consumption is
substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace
the gasket.
· Condenser at the bottom of the appliance must
always be clean and dust free (see Section Cleaning
of the Appliance).
· Always consider instructions stated in sections
Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the
energy consumption is substantially higher.
· If you have bought this appliance to replace an old
one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened
from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is
broken. This will make it impossible for children to
lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
· The appliance must be correctly connected to the
mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).
· Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance
operates, especially not with wet hands, because the
skin may stick to the cold surfaces.
· Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not
soft drinks, such as mineral water, sparkling wine,
beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during
freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up.
